Ok all now its come time for me to order these, but im really absolutely lost on the sizes and shit like that. Im only getting the welds for the rear so i need to know what size welds to get and what size mickeys to get (btw i wanna get e.t. streets). Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks!

(also the cheapest places to get both )

I got all my stuff from summit.

I think a good setup for you would be the 15x8 draglights, with 4.5 inch backspacing.

As far as the ET Streets, a 26/10.5/15 works good

so your positive both of those would be a perfect match? i like your setup they look really nice aqnd obviously work...The only reason im getting streets is because on friday saturday nights im gonna want them for the runs around here....or should i just get slicks and change them when i go to the track?

If you actually want a tire for racing on the street, I would look into some Nitto or BFG drag radials. My ET Streets can go up in smoke just like any other tire when not at the track.

trust me on this one.

Matter of fact I have one 5.5 weld draglite you can have if you want to order one new one.

I curbed the other rim and bought some 15X10s this time

the free rim is a 15X8 weld draglite with 5.5 backspacing

Will that fit the Fox body good? Will you have to bend the lip on the fenders? I want to get some Drag Lites with some slicks in the future so it would be nice to know what size i can run.

So what size Rim and Slick for a Fox body??

I'm sure a 10.5 inch slick will work on a fox...possibly a 11.5???

You definitly want the 5.5 backspacing. I f you want to see how it looks, just look at my car sometime. I park at the Elks. When is your car gonna be up and running again? Do you know if there is gonna be a car show this year or not?

I only parked in the street near thesenior lot when there was free parking, now I am assigned to the Elks. I will know when you get it back because I hear it leave every time during 6th period. Gotta love the sound of an o/r x-pipe with flows.
